I'm dealing with rheumatic heart disease and usually use Penicillin LA12, but it's currently unavailable. My doctor suggested I take Pendids 400 instead. Are there any concerns with switching to this medication at the age of 30, or is it safe to use in place of Penidura LA12?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Penicillin G Benzathine (Penidura LA12) is commonly used for the treatment of Rheumatic Heart Diseases. Since it is currently out of stock, Penicillin V (Pendids 400) can be a suitable alternative. The recommended dosage for Pendids 400 is usually 400 mg taken orally every 6 hours. It is important to follow your doctor's prescription and guidance for the proper treatment of your condition.

View allI'm Sanjay, and I've been dealing with this small pin-point pain in my chest for the last two months. I saw a local doctor who suggested getting an ECG and blood tests. After the tests, he said my heart's fine and linked the pain to gastric issues. He prescribed Rablet D and Met XL. Could you have a look at my ECG and let me know if there's really no heart issue? I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, weighing 59 kg, and I'm 158 cm tall. I've uploaded my ECG, blood test, and TMT 2D Echo reports. Can you help me figure this out?
As per your ECG report, there is no problem with your heart. The chest pain you are experiencing is likely due to gastric issues, as mentioned by your doctor. The medications prescribed to you are: - Rablet D (Dosage: 1 tablet before breakfast) - Met XL (Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor) Continue taking these medications as advised by your doctor. Additionally, you can try to avoid spicy and oily foods, eat smaller meals more frequently, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help with your gastric symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure is quite high, 170100, even though she's on medication. She's not eating well and feels really weak. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies or foods she can try? Maybe some juices that could help? I'm just trying to find anything that might make her feel better.
To help control your mother's high blood pressure (170100), consider these home remedies and dietary suggestions in conjunction with her prescribed medication: encourage her to drink plenty of water, herbal teas like hibiscus, and juices like pomegranate, beetroot, and amla; incorporate potassium-rich foods like bananas, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes; add omega-3 fatty acid sources like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts; use herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon; and consider supplements like CoQ10, vitamin D, and magnesium

I'm experiencing a fast heartbeat and I'm worried if it could be a case of SVT. I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal. Does that mean my heart is fine or should I be concerned about something else?
It is good that your echo is normal. Fast heart beat can be due to various reasons, including SVT. To help control your heart rate, you can take medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
